Education

Throughout the week seniors will be given opportunities to explore the “next steps” needed to prepare for life after graduation through a “College and Career-Readiness” week held Nov. 18-22, according to a news release from the school.
Representatives from colleges, vocational/technical schools, public service, and military branches will be present during the week to talk to students about post-secondary opportunities.

Saffell Street Elementary held an Arts Day on Nov. 4, with each classroom choose to participate in activities that enhanced student learning in the arts, according to a press release.
Some of the students’ choices included listening to Rob Pottorf, a writer and composer for Disney who resides in Lexington; hearing from local Kentucky authors Kay Cox and Ann Gabhart; viewing the wood carvings of artist Joe Clark; and touring an “instrument zoo” where students got to pick up, examine and play many different types of instruments from drums to violins.
